<h4><a name = "tag_001_014_1935">&nbsp;</a>NAME</h4><blockquote>
sact - print current SCCS file-editing activity (<b>DEVELOPMENT</b>)
</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_001_014_1936">&nbsp;</a>SYNOPSIS</h4><blockquote>
<pre><code>

sact <i>file</i>...
</code>
</pre>
</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_001_014_1937">&nbsp;</a>DESCRIPTION</h4><blockquote>
The
<i>sact</i>
utility informs the user of any impending deltas to a named SCCS file
by writing a list to standard output.
This situation occurs when
<i><a href="get.html">get</a></i>
<b>-e</b>
has been executed previously without a subsequent
execution of
<i><a href="delta.html">delta</a></i>.
</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_001_014_1938">&nbsp;</a>OPTIONS</h4><blockquote>
None.
</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_001_014_1939">&nbsp;</a>OPERANDS</h4><blockquote>
The following operand is supported:
<dl compact>

<dt><i>file</i><dd>A pathname of an existing SCCS file or a directory.
If
<i>file</i>
is a directory,
<i>sact</i>
behaves as though each file in the directory were
specified as a named file,
except that non-SCCS files
(last component of the pathname does not begin with
s.)
and unreadable files are silently ignored.

If a single instance
<i>file</i>
is specified as -,
the standard input is read;
each line of the standard input is taken to be the name of an SCCS file
to be processed.
Non-SCCS files and unreadable files are silently ignored.

</dl>
</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_001_014_1940">&nbsp;</a>STDIN</h4><blockquote>
The standard input is a text file used only when the
<i>file</i>
operand is specified as -.
Each line of the text file is interpreted as an SCCS pathname.
</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_001_014_1941">&nbsp;</a>INPUT FILES</h4><blockquote>
Any SCCS files interrogated are files of an unspecified format.
</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_001_014_1942">&nbsp;</a>ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES</h4><blockquote>
The following environment variables affect the execution of
<i>sact</i>:
<dl compact>

<dt><i>LANG</i><dd>Provide a default value for the internationalisation variables
that are unset or null.
If
<i>LANG</i>
is unset or null, the corresponding value from the
implementation-dependent default locale will be used.
If any of the internationalisation variables contains an invalid setting, the
utility will behave as if none of the variables had been defined.

<dt><i>LC_ALL</i><dd>
If set to a non-empty string value,
override the values of all the other internationalisation variables.

<dt><i>LC_CTYPE</i><dd>
Determine the
locale for the interpretation of sequences of bytes of text data as
characters (for example, single- as opposed to multi-byte characters
in arguments and input files).

<dt><i>LC_MESSAGES</i><dd>
Determine the locale that should be used to affect
the format and contents of diagnostic
messages written to standard error.

<dt><i>NLSPATH</i><dd>
Determine the location of message catalogues
for the processing of
<i>LC_MESSAGES .
</i>
</dl>
</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_001_014_1943">&nbsp;</a>ASYNCHRONOUS EVENTS</h4><blockquote>
Default.
</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_001_014_1944">&nbsp;</a>STDOUT</h4><blockquote>
The output for each named file consists of a line in the following format:
<code>
<p>
<tt>"%s<img src="../images/delta.gif" border=0>%s<img src="../images/delta.gif" border=0>%s<img src="../images/delta.gif" border=0>%s<img src="../images/delta.gif" border=0>%s\n"</tt>, &lt;<i>SID</i>&gt;,
&lt;<i>new&nbsp;SID</i>&gt;,
&lt;<i>login</i>&gt;,
&lt;<i>date</i>&gt;,
&lt;<i>time</i>&gt;
<p>
</code>
<dl compact>

<dt>&lt;<i>SID</i>&gt;<dd>Specifies the
SID
of a delta that currently exists in the SCCS file to which changes
will be made to make the new delta.

<dt>&lt;<i>new&nbsp;SID</i>&gt;<dd>
Specifies the SID for the new delta to be created.

<dt>&lt;<i>login</i>&gt;<dd>Contains the login name of the user who will
make the delta (that is, who executed a
<i><a href="get.html">get</a></i>
for editing).

<dt>&lt;<i>date</i>&gt;<dd>Contains the date that
<i><a href="get.html">get</a></i>
<b>-e</b>
was executed, in the format used by the
<i><a href="prs.html">prs</a></i>
<b>:D:</b>
data keyword.

<dt>&lt;<i>time</i>&gt;<dd>Contains the time that
<i><a href="get.html">get</a></i>
<b>-e</b>
was executed, in the format used by the
<i><a href="prs.html">prs</a></i>
<b>:T:</b>
data keyword.

</dl>
<p>
If there is more than one named file
or if a directory or standard input is named,
each pathname is written before each of the preceding lines:
<p><code>
<tt>"\n%s:\n"</tt>, &lt;<i>pathname</i>&gt;
</code>
</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_001_014_1945">&nbsp;</a>STDERR</h4><blockquote>
Used only for optional informative messages concerning SCCS files with no
impending deltas, and for diagnostic messages.
</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_001_014_1946">&nbsp;</a>OUTPUT FILES</h4><blockquote>
None.
</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_001_014_1947">&nbsp;</a>EXTENDED DESCRIPTION</h4><blockquote>
None.
</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_001_014_1948">&nbsp;</a>EXIT STATUS</h4><blockquote>
The following exit values are returned:
<dl compact>

<dt>0<dd>Successful completion.

<dt>&gt;0<dd>An error occurred.

</dl>
</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_001_014_1949">&nbsp;</a>CONSEQUENCES OF ERRORS</h4><blockquote>
Default.
</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_001_014_1950">&nbsp;</a>APPLICATION USAGE</h4><blockquote>
None.
</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_001_014_1951">&nbsp;</a>EXAMPLES</h4><blockquote>
None.
</blockquote><h4><a name = "tag_001_014_1952">&nbsp;</a>FUTURE DIRECTIONS</h4><blockquote>
None.
